Last weekend was a trip to Wilmington to visit the beach. Mara gets more and more used to seeing sand and surf. Of course she has been getting a lot of water time at the pool this summer. It iss a little strange that we don’t get in the water much when we are at the ocean. Just a little wading. This trip it was a lot of sand play, and trips to the water to fill pails for a return back to sit under the umbrella. It was hot! You can see a picture of the girls below. To make sure you see all the cute pictures, click through to take a look.

We also visited with Ashley, David, Sloan and Emerson. Not thinking, we failed to get a picture of the kids together. It would have been easy, they played in the living room for a long time. Although not really together, since Mara still does her own thing independently at this point. We figure there are more chances to get pictures with them as we expect to go to Wilmington again soon.
